They taught us growing up
When violence was the topic
That it is not the answer
Only to see we support war for profit
Told to be yourself,
Don't follow the crowd, but fact
When u do so, and it's too esoteric
They say: "no! not like that"
Teach us not to bully, as if adults
Are above it like they lament
It's existence, only to see it occur
In workplaces and social events
Teach us tolerance only to find out
Tolerance only applies
If ur not religious, cultured, ugly,
a minority, trans gender gay or bi
Told they thought the earth was flat,
only to find out it's not
Now some say again it's flat,
and from the past ud think we got
The lesson this taught
Which is to stay open and stop
To question what we think we know
But still most never thought
To challenge the media, government,
what we're fed
And choose to be fools, give up our
Privacy, lemmings off the edge
Supporting a fight against terrorism,
that's a lie , cuz what
Is really going on is ulterior motive
Swept under the rug
As real issues like pharmaceutical
Drugs given by our own is most
Alarming as it's harming,
so many who now overdosed
So teach whats not taught
Cuz what's taught, has not
Taught us what independent thinking,
can bring and stop
The lies, before our demise
Implies what you'll find soon
As it's too late, at this rate
Which is we will be doomed
